Pelosi And Dems Aren’t Happy With Trump’s Choice For Coronavirus Recovery Watchdog

On Saturday, Congressional Democrats said that President Donald Trump’s pick for the new watchdog overseeing $2.3 trillion in coronavirus-related fiscal spending is not independent enough to do the job.

That response was after a Friday announcement by the White House that claimed Trump would nominate Brian Miller to the role of a special inspector general for pandemic recovery. Miller is currently a special assistant to the president and senior associate counsel in the Office of White House Counsel.

WHY WOULDN’T TRUMP APPOINT ONE OF HIS PEOPLE?

The real problem here is that the Democrats still haven’t realized that Trump is President. And why would they say anything good about anything Trump says or does. They haven’t liked the low unemployment rate, they haven’t liked the excellent economy, they don’t like manufacturing coming back to the US, they don’t like border control. Basically, the Democrats don’t like anything that is good for America right now because Trump would get credit. It should be noted that Newsom is saying that Trump’s team is doing right by California. So…

In his February 4th State Of The Union address, our President announced that his administration was cooperating with the Chinese in their attempts to thwart the Coronavirus, there, his intention to protect Americans at home. Rep. Nancy Pelosi ripped up his speech.

The Democrats can complain all they want about Trump’s choice because the President chooses and the Senate votes on approval. Funny how everything that Trump does is not supported by the Democrats.

PELOSI WILL NEVER BE HAPPY WITH TRUMP’S DECISIONS

Pelosi isn’t ever going to be happy with anything Trump does. Even when the American people need help the Democrats only want to stop anything the President does. We need term limits in Congress.

“The Inspector General providing oversight of the federal response of this historic relief package for workers and families must be independent from politics,” House Speaker Nancy Pelosi echoed in her own statement. “The President’s nomination of one of his own lawyers clearly fails that test.

Senate Democrats, including Senate Democratic leader Chuck Schumer and the top Democratic senator on the Senate Finance Committee, also criticized the move.

Democratic U.S. Senator Richard Blumenthal said in a post on Twitter that the appointment was akin to putting a “fox in charge of the henhouse.”

The new watchdog position, which comes with a $25 million budget, was created to “conduct, supervise, and coordinate audits and investigations of the making, purchase, management, and sale of loans, loan guarantees, and other investments” by Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin. [Reuters]

Nancy is 80 years old and even as Speaker of the House and third in line to succeed the President, she still doesn’t understand which decisions are not hers to make. But let’s be honest, she would find a reason to object if Jesus Christ rose again and was chosen, the woman just can’t stand not being in total control.

Remember when Obama promised the most transparent oversight of the jobs recovery act, and the Democrat-controlled houses (they controlled both), cut funding for the tracking website.

It sounds like the House Democrats are complaining about the President’s selection of an oversight authority because they believe the authority will act the same way the House Democrats would if in that position.

HOUSE DEMS NEED TO GROW UP

The House Democrats should grow up and help support America in getting through this crisis instead of starting up a whole new set of barriers by continuing their tirade of political oversight in an attempt to score political points in the upcoming general election.

Shame on them for trying to politicize this worldwide health crisis!
